We use SuSE almost exclusivley at work - because it is recognized as being
the most capable Oracle system.  Our DBA suggested it, so we use it.  I also
like the fact that ReiserFS can be selected upon install.  All told, SuSE
seems to be a very mature distibution of Linux.

It even works with all the funky hardware in my Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop.
